Description
TRACTION SHEAVE ELEVATOR
The present invention relates to a traction sheave elevator.
An objective in the development of elevators is to make efficient and economic use of building space. In conventional traction sheave elevators, the elevator machine room or other space reserved for the drive machinery takes up a considerable portion of the building space required by the elevator. The problem is not only the volume of the building space needed for the drive machinery, but also its location in the building. Numerous solutions to the placement of the machine room have been proposed, however, these solutions generally significantly restrict the design of the building at least with respect to the utilization of space or appearance. For example, a machine room placed on the roof of a building can detract from the appearance of the building and generally results in increased building costs.
While hydraulic elevators often allow the entire drive machine to be placed in the elevator shaft, they are generally useful only for applications wherein the lifting height is only one floor or, at most, a few floors. In practice, hydraulic elevators are not applicable for great lifting heights.
Accordingly, there is a requirement for a reliable elevator which is economical and efficient in the utilization of space. Furthermore, there is a requirement for an elevator for which the space requirement in a building, irrespective of the hoisting height, is substantially limited to the space required by the elevator car and the counterweight on their respective paths, including the safety distances and the space required for the hoisting ropes. An object of the present invention is to provide a traction sheave elevator which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a traction sheave elevator for use in an elevator shaft, comprising: an elevator car adapted for movement along elevator guide rails; a counterweight adapted for movement along counterweight guide rails; a set of hoisting ropes on which the elevator car and the counterweight are suspended; a drive machine having a rotor and a stator; a traction sheave adapted to be driven by the drive machine and to engage the hoisting ropes; wherein the drive machine is positioned in the upper portion of the elevator shaft in the space between the shaft space required by the path of the elevator car and/or an overhead extension therefor and a wall of the elevator shaft; and wherein the drive machine is of a flat construction relative to its width.
Another aspect of the invention provides a traction sheave elevator comprising an elevator car adapted for movement along elevator guide rails, a counterweight adapted for movement along counterweight guide rails, a set of hoisting ropes on which the elevator car and the counterweight are suspended, and a drive machine unit comprising a traction sheave driven by the drive machine and engaging the hoisting ropes, wherein the drive machine unit of the elevator is disposed in the top part of the elevator shaft in the space between the shaft space required by the elevator car on its path and/or an overhead extension of the shaft space required by the elevator car and a wall of the elevator shaft, the hoisting ropes being passed under the elevator car by means of diverting pulleys, and the drive machine unit having a discoidal rotor or the drive machine unit being gearless.
A further aspect of the invention provides a traction sheave elevator comprising an elevator car adapted for movement along elevator guide rails, a counterweight adapted for movement along counterweight guide rails, a set of hoisting ropes on which the elevator car and the ,, counterweight are suspended, and a drive machine unit comprising a traction sheave driven by a drive machine and engaging the hoisting ropes, wherein the drive machine unit of the elevator is positioned in the top part of the elevator shaft in the space between the shaft space needed by the elevator car on its path and/or the overhead extension of the shaft needed by the elevator car and a wall of the elevator shaft, the diameter of the traction sheave being smaller than that of the stator or rotor.
The traction sheave elevator of the present invention provides a significant reduction in the space required therefor because no separate machine room is needed. Moreover, there is an efficient utilization of the cross-sectional area of the elevator shaft. Manufacture and installation of the traction sheave elevator is facilitated by using fewer discrete components than required in conventional traction sheave elevators.
In elevators implemented in accordance with the present invention, the hoisting ropes meet the traction sheave and diverting pulleys from a direction aligned with the rope grooves of the diverting pulleys, thereby reducing rope wear. Moreover, it is not difficult to achieve a centric suspension of the elevator car and counterweight in the traction sheave elevator of the present invention.
Accordingly, there is a substantial reduction of the supporting forces applied to the guide rails. This permits the use of lighter guide rails as well as lighter elevator and counterweight guides. In elevators implemented according to the invention, the supporting forces applied to the guide rails are of a moderate order.
The design of the elevator allows the elevator to be implemented using other than rucksack-type suspension, thus permitting the elevator of the present invention to be applied to cases wherein large loads and high speeds are desired. The elevator car and safety gear frame can be - 2a -, ~, ,, 21264~
designed without the problems associated with the use of ~ conventional elevators with a machine room, which are lighter and simpler than those used in rucksack-type elevators.

25Referring now to Figure 1, a traction sheave elevator according to the present invention has an elevator car 1 and a counterweight 2 suspended on hoisting ropes 3.
The hoisting ropes 3 preferably support the elevator car 1 substantially centrically or symmetrically relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the elevator car 1. Similarly, the counterweight 2 is preferably suspended substantially centric or symmetrical relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the counterweight 2. In Figure 1, the elevator car 1 is supported by the hoisting ropes 3 by means of diverting pulleys 4, 5 provided with rope grooves and the 2 12 6 ~
counterweight 2 is supported by a grooved diverting pulley ~ 9. The diverting pulleys 4, 5 preferably rotate in substantially the same plane. The hoisting ropes 3 usually consist of several ropes placed side by side, usually at least three ropes. The drive machine 6 of the elevator with a traction sheave 7 engaging the hoisting ropes 3 is positioned in the upper portion of the elevator shaft.
The elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 travel in the elevator shaft along elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 which guide them. The elevator and counterweight guides are not shown in the drawings.
In Figure 1, one end of the hoisting ropes 3 is attached to an anchorage 13 above the path of the counterweight 2 in the upper portion of the shaft. From the anchorage 13, the hoisting ropes 3 extend downwardly to the diverting pulley 9, which is rotatably mounted on the counterweight 2. The hoisting ropes 3 then pass to the rope grooves of the traction sheave 7 of the drive machine 6 to the elevator car 1, passing under the elevator car 1 via the diverting pulleys 4, 5 (diverting pulley 5 is shown more clearly in Figure 2) supporting the elevator car 1 on the hoisting ropes 3, and continue upwards to an anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, where the other end of the hoisting ropes 3 is fixed.
The positions of the anchorage 13 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulley 9 supporting the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3 are preferably aligned, with respect to each other so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the anchorage 13 and the counterweight 2, as well as the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the counterweight 2 and the traction sheave 7 run substantially in the direction of the path of the counterweight 2. The anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulleys 4, 5 supporting the elevator car 1 are positioned with respect to each 21 26~52 other, so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between ~ the anchorage 14 and the elevator car 1 and the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the elevator car 1 and the traction sheave 7 are substantially parallel to the path of the elevator car 1. In this case, no extra diverting pulleys are needed to direct the passage of the hoisting ropes 3 in the elevator shaft. The effect of the hoisting rope 3 suspension on the elevator car 1 is substantially centric if the diverting pulleys 4, 5 are placed substantially symmetrical relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the elevator car 1.
The drive machine 6 positioned above the path of the counterweight 2 is of a flat construction as compared to its width, including a control panel 8 which may be required to control the elevator and to supply power to the motor driving the traction sheave 7. The control panel 8 is adjoined to the drive machine 6 and possibly integrated therewith. Substantially all of the essential parts of the drive machine 6 with the associated control panel 8 are placed between the shaft space required by the elevator car 1 and/or an overhead extension thereof and a wall of the shaft.
With reference now to Figure 2, illustrating the placement of an elevator according to the present invention in an elevator shaft 15, the drive machine 6, and possibly also the control panel 8, containing the equipment required for power supply to the motor and for elevator control, are fixed to the wall or ceiling of the elevator shaft 15. The drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 can be attached at a factory into a single integrated unit which may then be installed in the elevator shaft 15.
The elevator shaft 15 is provided with a landing door 17 for each floor and the elevator car 1 has a car door 18 on the side facing the landing door 17. Since the hoisting ropes 3 are passed below the elevator car 1, the 2126 l~J
drive machine 6 can be positioned below the level at which ~ the top of the elevator car 1 reaches the highest point of its path. In an elevator implemented according to the solution presented, ordinary service operations on the drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 can be performed while standing on the top of the elevator car l.
Figure 2 illustrates the relative positions of the drive machine 6, the traction sheave 7, the elevator car 1, the counterweight 2 and the elevator car and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 in the cross-section of the elevator shaft 15. The figure also shows the position of the diverting pulleys 4, 5, 9 used to suspend the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3. The hoisting ropes 3 are represented by their cross-sections in the grooves of the diverting pulleys 4, 5, 9 and the traction sheave 7.
A preferable drive machine 6 consists of a gearless machine with an electromotor whose rotor and stator are so mounted that one is immovable with respect to the traction sheave 7 and the other with respect to the frame of the drive machine 6.
- Another embodiment of the traction sheave elevator according to the present invention is presented in Figure 3. The elevator car 1 and counterweight 2 are suspended on the hoisting ropes 3. The hoisting ropes 3 preferably support the elevator car 1 substantially centrically or symmetrically relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the counterweight 2. Similarly, the counterweight 2 is preferably suspended substantially centric or symmetrical relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the counterweight 2. In Figure 3, the elevator car 1 is supported by the hoisting ropes 3 by means of diverting pulleys 4, 5 provided with rope grooves and the counterweight 2 is supported by a grooved diverting pulley 9. The diverting pulleys 4, 5 preferably rotate in 2126~2 substantially the same plane. The hoisting ropes 3 usually consist of several ropes placed side by side, usually at least three ropes. The drive machine 6 of the elevator with a traction sheave 7 engaging the hoisting ropes 3 is positioned in the upper portion of the elevator shaft.
The elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 travel in the elevator shaft along elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 which guide them. The elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 are placed in the shaft on the same side relative to the elevator car 1. The elevator car 1 is suspended on the elevator guide rails 10 in a manner called rucksack suspension, which means that the elevator car 1 and its supporting structures are almost entirely on one side of the plane between the elevator guide rails 10. The elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 are implemented as an integrated rail unit 12 having guide surfaces for guiding the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2. Such a rail unit 12 can be installed faster than separate guide tracks. The elevator and counterweight guides are not shown in the drawings.
In Figure 3, one end of the hoisting ropes 3 is attached to an anchorage 13 above the path of the counterweight 2 in the upper portion of the shaft. From the anchorage 13, the hoisting ropes 3 extend downwardly to the diverting pulley 9 rotatably mounted on the counterweight 2. The hoisting ropes 3 then pass to the rope grooves of the traction sheave 7 of the drive machine 6 to the elevator car 1, passing under the elevator car 1 via the diverting pulleys 4, 5 supporting the elevator car 1 on the hoisting ropes 3 and continue upwards to an anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, where the other end of the hoisting ropes 3 is fixed.
The positions of the anchorage 13 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulley 9 supporting the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3 are preferably aligned, relative to each 212~'1q~
other, so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between ~ the anchorage 13 and the counterweight 2, as well as the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the counterweight 2 and the traction sheave 7 run substantially in the direction of the path of the counterweight 2. The anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulleys 4, 5 supporting the elevator car 1 are positioned relative to each other, so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the anchorage 14 and the elevator car 1 and the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the elevator car 1 and the traction sheave 7 are substantially parallel to the path of the elevator car 1. In this case, no extra diverting pulleys are needed to direct the passage of the hoisting ropes 3 in the elevator shaft. The effect of the hoisting ropes 3 suspension on the elevator car 1 is substantially centric if the diverting pulleys 4, 5 are placed substantially symmetrical relative to a vertical midline of the elevator car 1. A suspension arrangement wherein the hoisting ropes 3 pass diagonally under the floor of the elevator car 1 provides an advantage regarding elevator lay-out because the vertical portions of the hoisting ropes 3 are close to the corners of the elevator car 1 and are therefore not an obstacle, for example, to placing a door on one of the sides of the elevator car 1.
The drive machine 6 positioned above the path of the counterweight 2 is of a flat construction as compared to the width of the counterweight 2, its thickness preferably being at most equal to that of the counterweight 2, including a control panel 8 which may be required to control the elevator and to supply power to the motor driving the traction sheave 7. The control panel 8 is adjoined to the drive machine 6 and possibly integrated therewith. Substantially all of the essential parts of the drive machine 6 with the associated control panel 8 are within the shaft space extension required above the shaft 2126~
space for the counterweight 2, including the safety distance. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that some parts may be outside of this extension, such as the lugs (not shown) needed to fix the machinery to the ceiling of the elevator shaft, other structures in the upper portion of the shaft, or the brake handle (not shown). Elevator regulations typically require a 25-mm safety distance from a movable component, but even larger safety distances may be applied due to more stringent regulations in other countries or for other reasons.
With reference now to Figure 4a, illustrating the placement of an elevator according to the present invention in an elevator shaft 15, the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 are suspended, in the manner presented in Figure 3, on the guide rail units 12 and the hoisting ropes 3 (indicated here with a broken line). Near the top of the elevator shaft 15 is a mounting beam 16, to which is fixed the control panel 8 containing the equipment required to supply power to the motor and to control the elevator. The mounting beam 16 can be fabricated by fixing the drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 to it at the factory, or the mounting beam 16 can be implemented as part of the frame structure of the machinery, thus forming a 'lug' for fixing the drive machine 6 to a wall or the ceiling of the elevator shaft 15. The mounting beam 16 is also provided with an anchorage 13 for at least one end of the hoisting ropes 3. The other end of the hoisting ropes 3 is often fixed to an anchorage 14 located somewhere other than the mounting beam 16. The elevator shaft 15 is provided with a landing door 17 for each floor and the elevator car 1 has a car door 18 on the side facing the landing doors 17. On the topmost floor there is a service hatch 19 opening into the shaft space. The service hatch 19 is placed so that a serviceman can reach the control panel 8 and the drive machine 6 through the service hatch 19, if not from the floor then at least from a working platform placed at some height above the floor. The service hatch 19 is placed and dimensioned such that emergency operation, stipulated by elevator regulations, can be performed with sufficient ease via the service hatch 19. Ordinary service operations on the drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 can be performed while standing on the top of the elevator car 1.
Figure 4b illustrates how the guide rail units 12, the counterweight 2 and the elevator car 1 are placed in the cross-section of the elevator shaft 15. The figure also shows the position of the diverting pulleys 4, 5, 9 used to suspend the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3. In Figure 4b, the elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 are in substantially the same plane between the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 with the rail ridges placed in the direction of this plane.
A preferable drive machine 6 consists of a gearless machine with an electromotor whose rotor and stator are so mounted that one is immovable with respect to the traction sheave 7 and the other with respect to the frame of the drive machine 6. In many cases, the essential parts of the motor are preferably substantially inside the rim of the traction sheave 7. The action of the operating brake of the elevator is applied to the traction sheave 7.
In this case, the operating brake is preferably integrated with the motor. In practical applications, the drive machine 6 of the present invention has a maximum thickness of about 20 cm for small elevators and from about 30 to 40 cm or more for large elevators with a high hoisting capacity.
The drive machine 6 employed in the invention, together with the motor, can be of a very flat construction. For example, in an elevator with a load capacity of about 800 kg, the rotor of the motor of the invention has a diameter of about 800 mm and the minimum thickness of the whole drive machine 6 is only about 160 21264~
mm. Thus, the drive machine 6 used in the invention can be ~ easily accommodated in the space according to the extension of the path of the counterweight 2. The large diameter of the motor yields the advantage that a gear system is not necessarily needed.
Referring now to Figure 5, an elevator motor 126 is implemented as a structure suitable for a drive machine 6 by making the motor 126 from parts usually called endshields and side plate 111 of the drive machine 6 which also supports the stator. The side plate 111 thus constitutes a portion of the frame transmitting the load of the motor 126 and at the same time the load of the drive machine 6. The drive machine 6 has two supporting side plates 111, 112 which are connected by an axle 113. A
stator 114 with a stator winding 115 thereon is attached to the side plate 111. Alternatively, the side plate 111 and the stator 114 can be integrated into a single structure.
A rotor 117 is mounted on the axle 113 by means of a bearing 116. The traction sheave 7 on the outer surface of the rotor 117 is provided with five rope grooves 119. Each one of the five ropes 102 passes about once around the traction sheave 7. The traction sheave 7 may be a separate cylindrical body placed around the rotor 117, or the rope grooves 119 of the traction sheave 7 may be made directly on the outer surface of the rotor 117, as shown in Figure 5. A rotor winding 120 is placed on the inner surface of the rotor 117. Between the stator 114 and the rotor 117 is a brake 121 consisting of brake plates 122, 123 attached to the stator 114 and a brake disc 124 rotating with the rotor 117. The axle 113 is fixed to the stator 114.
Alternatively, the axle 113 could be fixed to the rotor 117, in which case the bearing 116 would be between the rotor 117 and one or both side plates 111, 112. Side plate 112 acts as an additional reinforcement and stiffener for the motor 126 and the drive machine 6. The horizontal axle 113 is fixed to opposite points on the side plates 111, 2126~9~
112. The side plates 111, 112 form a boxlike structure together with connecting pieces 125.
Referring now to Figure 6, an elevator motor 326 and the drive machine 6 form an integrated structure. The elevator motor 326 is positioned substantially inside the drive machine 6. A stator 314 and an axle 313 of the motor 326 are attached to side plates 311, 312 of the drive machine 6. Thus the side plates 311, 312 of the drive machine 6 also form the endshields of the motor 326, while acting as frame parts transmitting the load of the motor 326 and the drive machine 6. Sustainers 325 are fixed between the side plates 311, 312 and act as additional stiffeners of the drive machine 6.
A rotor 317 is rotatably mounted on the axle 313 with a bearing 316. The rotor 317 is disc-shaped and is placed in the axial direction substantially at the middle of the axle 313. Placed on either side of the rotor 317, between the windings and the axle 313, are two circular halves 318a and 318b of a traction sheave 318, both having the same diameter. Each half of the traction sheave 318 carries the same number of ropes 302. Each one of the four ropes 302 runs over the traction sheave 318 along its own groove. For the sake of clarity, the ropes 302 are only shown as sections on the traction sheave 318.
The diameter of the traction sheave 318 is smaller than that of the stator 314 or rotor 317. The traction sheave 318 is attached to the rotor 317 so that it is possible to use traction sheaves 318 of different diameters with the same rotor 317 diameter. Such variation provides the same advantage as the use of a gear system, and this is another advantage achieved by applying this kind of a motor 326 in the present invention. The traction sheave 318 is fixed to the rotor disc in a manner known to those skilled in the art, for example by means of screws.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the two halves 318a, 318b of the traction sheave 318 can alternatively be integrated with the rotor 317 to form a single body.
The stator 314 together with the stator winding 315 forms a U-shaped sector or segmented sector resembling a clutching hand over the outer edge of the rotor 317, with the open side of the U-shape towards the ropes 302. The largest sector width possible in the structure depends on the relation of the inner diameter of the stator 314 and the diameter of the traction sheave 318. In practical solutions, an advantageous relationship of the magnitudes of these diameters is such that a sector diameter of 240~
is not exceeded. However, if the hoisting ropes 302 are brought closer to a vertical line passing through the axle 313 by providing the machine with diverting pulleys, the arrangement will easily allow the use of a sector of from about 240~ to 300~, depending on the position of the diverting pulleys below the motor 326. At the same time, the angle of contact of the ropes 302 on the traction sheave 318 is increased, improving the frictional grip of the traction sheave 318. Between the stator 314 and the rotor 317 are two air gaps which are substantially perpendicular to the axle 313 of the motor 326.
If necessary, the drive machine can also be provided with a rotor activation means 320 which is placed, for example, inside the traction sheave 318 between the side plates 311, 312 and the rotor 317.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention are not restricted to the examples described herein. For example, it is possible to vary the number of times the hoisting ropes 3 are passed between the upper portion of the elevator shaft and the counterweight 2 or elevator car 1.
In particular, it is possible to achieve some additional advantages by using multiple rope stretches. In general, applications should be so designed that the hoisting ropes 3 go to the elevator car 1 at most as many times as to the 212~
counterweight 2. It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the hoisting ropes 3 need not necessarily be passed under the elevator car 1.
In suspension arrangements wherein the path of the counterweight is shorter than that of the car, a somewhat shorter shaft length requirement is achieved by placing the machinery above the path of the counterweight than in suspension arrangements wherein the paths of the car and counterweight have equal lengths.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the larger machine size needed for elevators designed for heavy loads can be achieved by increasing the diameter of the electromotor, without substantially increasing the thickness of the drive machine 6.
It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the elevator car, the counterweight and the drive machine can be positioned in the cross-section of the elevator shaft in a different manner than those described herein. One such lay-out is one wherein the drive machine and the counterweight are behind the car as seen from the shaft door and the hoisting ropes are passed under the elevator car diagonally with respect to the bottom of the elevator car. Passing the hoisting ropes diagonally or otherwise obliquely with respect to the shape of the elevator car bottom is an advantageous solution which can be used in other types of suspension lay-outs as well to ensure that the elevator car is symmetrically suspended on the hoisting ropes with respect to the centre of mass of the elevator.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the control panel required for the supply of power to the motor and for control of the elevator can be placed other than in conjunction with the machine unit, for example, in a separate control panel.
Similarly, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the 212fi~
art that an elevator implemented according to the present invention can be equipped in a manner differing from the examples presented. For instance, instead of an automatic door, the elevator could be equipped with a turn door.
The present invention relates to a traction sheave elevator.
An objective in the development of elevators is to make efficient and economic use of building space. In conventional traction sheave elevators, the elevator machine room or other space reserved for the drive machinery takes up a considerable portion of the building space required by the elevator. The problem is not only the volume of the building space needed for the drive machinery, but also its location in the building. Numerous solutions to the placement of the machine room have been proposed, however, these solutions generally significantly restrict the design of the building at least with respect to the utilization of space or appearance. For example, a machine room placed on the roof of a building can detract from the appearance of the building and generally results in increased building costs.
While hydraulic elevators often allow the entire drive machine to be placed in the elevator shaft, they are generally useful only for applications wherein the lifting height is only one floor or, at most, a few floors. In practice, hydraulic elevators are not applicable for great lifting heights.
Accordingly, there is a requirement for a reliable elevator which is economical and efficient in the utilization of space. Furthermore, there is a requirement for an elevator for which the space requirement in a building, irrespective of the hoisting height, is substantially limited to the space required by the elevator car and the counterweight on their respective paths, including the safety distances and the space required for the hoisting ropes. An object of the present invention is to provide a traction sheave elevator which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a traction sheave elevator for use in an elevator shaft, comprising: an elevator car adapted for movement along elevator guide rails; a counterweight adapted for movement along counterweight guide rails; a set of hoisting ropes on which the elevator car and the counterweight are suspended; a drive machine having a rotor and a stator; a traction sheave adapted to be driven by the drive machine and to engage the hoisting ropes; wherein the drive machine is positioned in the upper portion of the elevator shaft in the space between the shaft space required by the path of the elevator car and/or an overhead extension therefor and a wall of the elevator shaft; and wherein the drive machine is of a flat construction relative to its width.
Another aspect of the invention provides a traction sheave elevator comprising an elevator car adapted for movement along elevator guide rails, a counterweight adapted for movement along counterweight guide rails, a set of hoisting ropes on which the elevator car and the counterweight are suspended, and a drive machine unit comprising a traction sheave driven by the drive machine and engaging the hoisting ropes, wherein the drive machine unit of the elevator is disposed in the top part of the elevator shaft in the space between the shaft space required by the elevator car on its path and/or an overhead extension of the shaft space required by the elevator car and a wall of the elevator shaft, the hoisting ropes being passed under the elevator car by means of diverting pulleys, and the drive machine unit having a discoidal rotor or the drive machine unit being gearless.
A further aspect of the invention provides a traction sheave elevator comprising an elevator car adapted for movement along elevator guide rails, a counterweight adapted for movement along counterweight guide rails, a set of hoisting ropes on which the elevator car and the ,, counterweight are suspended, and a drive machine unit comprising a traction sheave driven by a drive machine and engaging the hoisting ropes, wherein the drive machine unit of the elevator is positioned in the top part of the elevator shaft in the space between the shaft space needed by the elevator car on its path and/or the overhead extension of the shaft needed by the elevator car and a wall of the elevator shaft, the diameter of the traction sheave being smaller than that of the stator or rotor.
The traction sheave elevator of the present invention provides a significant reduction in the space required therefor because no separate machine room is needed. Moreover, there is an efficient utilization of the cross-sectional area of the elevator shaft. Manufacture and installation of the traction sheave elevator is facilitated by using fewer discrete components than required in conventional traction sheave elevators.
In elevators implemented in accordance with the present invention, the hoisting ropes meet the traction sheave and diverting pulleys from a direction aligned with the rope grooves of the diverting pulleys, thereby reducing rope wear. Moreover, it is not difficult to achieve a centric suspension of the elevator car and counterweight in the traction sheave elevator of the present invention.
Accordingly, there is a substantial reduction of the supporting forces applied to the guide rails. This permits the use of lighter guide rails as well as lighter elevator and counterweight guides. In elevators implemented according to the invention, the supporting forces applied to the guide rails are of a moderate order.
The design of the elevator allows the elevator to be implemented using other than rucksack-type suspension, thus permitting the elevator of the present invention to be applied to cases wherein large loads and high speeds are desired. The elevator car and safety gear frame can be - 2a -, ~, ,, 21264~
designed without the problems associated with the use of ~ conventional elevators with a machine room, which are lighter and simpler than those used in rucksack-type elevators.

25Referring now to Figure 1, a traction sheave elevator according to the present invention has an elevator car 1 and a counterweight 2 suspended on hoisting ropes 3.
The hoisting ropes 3 preferably support the elevator car 1 substantially centrically or symmetrically relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the elevator car 1. Similarly, the counterweight 2 is preferably suspended substantially centric or symmetrical relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the counterweight 2. In Figure 1, the elevator car 1 is supported by the hoisting ropes 3 by means of diverting pulleys 4, 5 provided with rope grooves and the 2 12 6 ~
counterweight 2 is supported by a grooved diverting pulley ~ 9. The diverting pulleys 4, 5 preferably rotate in substantially the same plane. The hoisting ropes 3 usually consist of several ropes placed side by side, usually at least three ropes. The drive machine 6 of the elevator with a traction sheave 7 engaging the hoisting ropes 3 is positioned in the upper portion of the elevator shaft.
The elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 travel in the elevator shaft along elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 which guide them. The elevator and counterweight guides are not shown in the drawings.
In Figure 1, one end of the hoisting ropes 3 is attached to an anchorage 13 above the path of the counterweight 2 in the upper portion of the shaft. From the anchorage 13, the hoisting ropes 3 extend downwardly to the diverting pulley 9, which is rotatably mounted on the counterweight 2. The hoisting ropes 3 then pass to the rope grooves of the traction sheave 7 of the drive machine 6 to the elevator car 1, passing under the elevator car 1 via the diverting pulleys 4, 5 (diverting pulley 5 is shown more clearly in Figure 2) supporting the elevator car 1 on the hoisting ropes 3, and continue upwards to an anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, where the other end of the hoisting ropes 3 is fixed.
The positions of the anchorage 13 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulley 9 supporting the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3 are preferably aligned, with respect to each other so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the anchorage 13 and the counterweight 2, as well as the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the counterweight 2 and the traction sheave 7 run substantially in the direction of the path of the counterweight 2. The anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulleys 4, 5 supporting the elevator car 1 are positioned with respect to each 21 26~52 other, so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between ~ the anchorage 14 and the elevator car 1 and the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the elevator car 1 and the traction sheave 7 are substantially parallel to the path of the elevator car 1. In this case, no extra diverting pulleys are needed to direct the passage of the hoisting ropes 3 in the elevator shaft. The effect of the hoisting rope 3 suspension on the elevator car 1 is substantially centric if the diverting pulleys 4, 5 are placed substantially symmetrical relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the elevator car 1.
The drive machine 6 positioned above the path of the counterweight 2 is of a flat construction as compared to its width, including a control panel 8 which may be required to control the elevator and to supply power to the motor driving the traction sheave 7. The control panel 8 is adjoined to the drive machine 6 and possibly integrated therewith. Substantially all of the essential parts of the drive machine 6 with the associated control panel 8 are placed between the shaft space required by the elevator car 1 and/or an overhead extension thereof and a wall of the shaft.
With reference now to Figure 2, illustrating the placement of an elevator according to the present invention in an elevator shaft 15, the drive machine 6, and possibly also the control panel 8, containing the equipment required for power supply to the motor and for elevator control, are fixed to the wall or ceiling of the elevator shaft 15. The drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 can be attached at a factory into a single integrated unit which may then be installed in the elevator shaft 15.
The elevator shaft 15 is provided with a landing door 17 for each floor and the elevator car 1 has a car door 18 on the side facing the landing door 17. Since the hoisting ropes 3 are passed below the elevator car 1, the 2126 l~J
drive machine 6 can be positioned below the level at which ~ the top of the elevator car 1 reaches the highest point of its path. In an elevator implemented according to the solution presented, ordinary service operations on the drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 can be performed while standing on the top of the elevator car l.
Figure 2 illustrates the relative positions of the drive machine 6, the traction sheave 7, the elevator car 1, the counterweight 2 and the elevator car and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 in the cross-section of the elevator shaft 15. The figure also shows the position of the diverting pulleys 4, 5, 9 used to suspend the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3. The hoisting ropes 3 are represented by their cross-sections in the grooves of the diverting pulleys 4, 5, 9 and the traction sheave 7.
A preferable drive machine 6 consists of a gearless machine with an electromotor whose rotor and stator are so mounted that one is immovable with respect to the traction sheave 7 and the other with respect to the frame of the drive machine 6.
- Another embodiment of the traction sheave elevator according to the present invention is presented in Figure 3. The elevator car 1 and counterweight 2 are suspended on the hoisting ropes 3. The hoisting ropes 3 preferably support the elevator car 1 substantially centrically or symmetrically relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the counterweight 2. Similarly, the counterweight 2 is preferably suspended substantially centric or symmetrical relative to a vertical line passing through the centre of gravity of the counterweight 2. In Figure 3, the elevator car 1 is supported by the hoisting ropes 3 by means of diverting pulleys 4, 5 provided with rope grooves and the counterweight 2 is supported by a grooved diverting pulley 9. The diverting pulleys 4, 5 preferably rotate in 2126~2 substantially the same plane. The hoisting ropes 3 usually consist of several ropes placed side by side, usually at least three ropes. The drive machine 6 of the elevator with a traction sheave 7 engaging the hoisting ropes 3 is positioned in the upper portion of the elevator shaft.
The elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 travel in the elevator shaft along elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 which guide them. The elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 are placed in the shaft on the same side relative to the elevator car 1. The elevator car 1 is suspended on the elevator guide rails 10 in a manner called rucksack suspension, which means that the elevator car 1 and its supporting structures are almost entirely on one side of the plane between the elevator guide rails 10. The elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 are implemented as an integrated rail unit 12 having guide surfaces for guiding the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2. Such a rail unit 12 can be installed faster than separate guide tracks. The elevator and counterweight guides are not shown in the drawings.
In Figure 3, one end of the hoisting ropes 3 is attached to an anchorage 13 above the path of the counterweight 2 in the upper portion of the shaft. From the anchorage 13, the hoisting ropes 3 extend downwardly to the diverting pulley 9 rotatably mounted on the counterweight 2. The hoisting ropes 3 then pass to the rope grooves of the traction sheave 7 of the drive machine 6 to the elevator car 1, passing under the elevator car 1 via the diverting pulleys 4, 5 supporting the elevator car 1 on the hoisting ropes 3 and continue upwards to an anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, where the other end of the hoisting ropes 3 is fixed.
The positions of the anchorage 13 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulley 9 supporting the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3 are preferably aligned, relative to each 212~'1q~
other, so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between ~ the anchorage 13 and the counterweight 2, as well as the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the counterweight 2 and the traction sheave 7 run substantially in the direction of the path of the counterweight 2. The anchorage 14 in the upper portion of the shaft, the traction sheave 7 and the diverting pulleys 4, 5 supporting the elevator car 1 are positioned relative to each other, so that the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the anchorage 14 and the elevator car 1 and the section of the hoisting ropes 3 between the elevator car 1 and the traction sheave 7 are substantially parallel to the path of the elevator car 1. In this case, no extra diverting pulleys are needed to direct the passage of the hoisting ropes 3 in the elevator shaft. The effect of the hoisting ropes 3 suspension on the elevator car 1 is substantially centric if the diverting pulleys 4, 5 are placed substantially symmetrical relative to a vertical midline of the elevator car 1. A suspension arrangement wherein the hoisting ropes 3 pass diagonally under the floor of the elevator car 1 provides an advantage regarding elevator lay-out because the vertical portions of the hoisting ropes 3 are close to the corners of the elevator car 1 and are therefore not an obstacle, for example, to placing a door on one of the sides of the elevator car 1.
The drive machine 6 positioned above the path of the counterweight 2 is of a flat construction as compared to the width of the counterweight 2, its thickness preferably being at most equal to that of the counterweight 2, including a control panel 8 which may be required to control the elevator and to supply power to the motor driving the traction sheave 7. The control panel 8 is adjoined to the drive machine 6 and possibly integrated therewith. Substantially all of the essential parts of the drive machine 6 with the associated control panel 8 are within the shaft space extension required above the shaft 2126~
space for the counterweight 2, including the safety distance. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that some parts may be outside of this extension, such as the lugs (not shown) needed to fix the machinery to the ceiling of the elevator shaft, other structures in the upper portion of the shaft, or the brake handle (not shown). Elevator regulations typically require a 25-mm safety distance from a movable component, but even larger safety distances may be applied due to more stringent regulations in other countries or for other reasons.
With reference now to Figure 4a, illustrating the placement of an elevator according to the present invention in an elevator shaft 15, the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 are suspended, in the manner presented in Figure 3, on the guide rail units 12 and the hoisting ropes 3 (indicated here with a broken line). Near the top of the elevator shaft 15 is a mounting beam 16, to which is fixed the control panel 8 containing the equipment required to supply power to the motor and to control the elevator. The mounting beam 16 can be fabricated by fixing the drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 to it at the factory, or the mounting beam 16 can be implemented as part of the frame structure of the machinery, thus forming a 'lug' for fixing the drive machine 6 to a wall or the ceiling of the elevator shaft 15. The mounting beam 16 is also provided with an anchorage 13 for at least one end of the hoisting ropes 3. The other end of the hoisting ropes 3 is often fixed to an anchorage 14 located somewhere other than the mounting beam 16. The elevator shaft 15 is provided with a landing door 17 for each floor and the elevator car 1 has a car door 18 on the side facing the landing doors 17. On the topmost floor there is a service hatch 19 opening into the shaft space. The service hatch 19 is placed so that a serviceman can reach the control panel 8 and the drive machine 6 through the service hatch 19, if not from the floor then at least from a working platform placed at some height above the floor. The service hatch 19 is placed and dimensioned such that emergency operation, stipulated by elevator regulations, can be performed with sufficient ease via the service hatch 19. Ordinary service operations on the drive machine 6 and the control panel 8 can be performed while standing on the top of the elevator car 1.
Figure 4b illustrates how the guide rail units 12, the counterweight 2 and the elevator car 1 are placed in the cross-section of the elevator shaft 15. The figure also shows the position of the diverting pulleys 4, 5, 9 used to suspend the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 on the hoisting ropes 3. In Figure 4b, the elevator and counterweight guide rails 10, 11 are in substantially the same plane between the elevator car 1 and the counterweight 2 with the rail ridges placed in the direction of this plane.
A preferable drive machine 6 consists of a gearless machine with an electromotor whose rotor and stator are so mounted that one is immovable with respect to the traction sheave 7 and the other with respect to the frame of the drive machine 6. In many cases, the essential parts of the motor are preferably substantially inside the rim of the traction sheave 7. The action of the operating brake of the elevator is applied to the traction sheave 7.
In this case, the operating brake is preferably integrated with the motor. In practical applications, the drive machine 6 of the present invention has a maximum thickness of about 20 cm for small elevators and from about 30 to 40 cm or more for large elevators with a high hoisting capacity.
The drive machine 6 employed in the invention, together with the motor, can be of a very flat construction. For example, in an elevator with a load capacity of about 800 kg, the rotor of the motor of the invention has a diameter of about 800 mm and the minimum thickness of the whole drive machine 6 is only about 160 21264~
mm. Thus, the drive machine 6 used in the invention can be ~ easily accommodated in the space according to the extension of the path of the counterweight 2. The large diameter of the motor yields the advantage that a gear system is not necessarily needed.
Referring now to Figure 5, an elevator motor 126 is implemented as a structure suitable for a drive machine 6 by making the motor 126 from parts usually called endshields and side plate 111 of the drive machine 6 which also supports the stator. The side plate 111 thus constitutes a portion of the frame transmitting the load of the motor 126 and at the same time the load of the drive machine 6. The drive machine 6 has two supporting side plates 111, 112 which are connected by an axle 113. A
stator 114 with a stator winding 115 thereon is attached to the side plate 111. Alternatively, the side plate 111 and the stator 114 can be integrated into a single structure.
A rotor 117 is mounted on the axle 113 by means of a bearing 116. The traction sheave 7 on the outer surface of the rotor 117 is provided with five rope grooves 119. Each one of the five ropes 102 passes about once around the traction sheave 7. The traction sheave 7 may be a separate cylindrical body placed around the rotor 117, or the rope grooves 119 of the traction sheave 7 may be made directly on the outer surface of the rotor 117, as shown in Figure 5. A rotor winding 120 is placed on the inner surface of the rotor 117. Between the stator 114 and the rotor 117 is a brake 121 consisting of brake plates 122, 123 attached to the stator 114 and a brake disc 124 rotating with the rotor 117. The axle 113 is fixed to the stator 114.
Alternatively, the axle 113 could be fixed to the rotor 117, in which case the bearing 116 would be between the rotor 117 and one or both side plates 111, 112. Side plate 112 acts as an additional reinforcement and stiffener for the motor 126 and the drive machine 6. The horizontal axle 113 is fixed to opposite points on the side plates 111, 2126~9~
112. The side plates 111, 112 form a boxlike structure together with connecting pieces 125.
Referring now to Figure 6, an elevator motor 326 and the drive machine 6 form an integrated structure. The elevator motor 326 is positioned substantially inside the drive machine 6. A stator 314 and an axle 313 of the motor 326 are attached to side plates 311, 312 of the drive machine 6. Thus the side plates 311, 312 of the drive machine 6 also form the endshields of the motor 326, while acting as frame parts transmitting the load of the motor 326 and the drive machine 6. Sustainers 325 are fixed between the side plates 311, 312 and act as additional stiffeners of the drive machine 6.
A rotor 317 is rotatably mounted on the axle 313 with a bearing 316. The rotor 317 is disc-shaped and is placed in the axial direction substantially at the middle of the axle 313. Placed on either side of the rotor 317, between the windings and the axle 313, are two circular halves 318a and 318b of a traction sheave 318, both having the same diameter. Each half of the traction sheave 318 carries the same number of ropes 302. Each one of the four ropes 302 runs over the traction sheave 318 along its own groove. For the sake of clarity, the ropes 302 are only shown as sections on the traction sheave 318.
The diameter of the traction sheave 318 is smaller than that of the stator 314 or rotor 317. The traction sheave 318 is attached to the rotor 317 so that it is possible to use traction sheaves 318 of different diameters with the same rotor 317 diameter. Such variation provides the same advantage as the use of a gear system, and this is another advantage achieved by applying this kind of a motor 326 in the present invention. The traction sheave 318 is fixed to the rotor disc in a manner known to those skilled in the art, for example by means of screws.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the two halves 318a, 318b of the traction sheave 318 can alternatively be integrated with the rotor 317 to form a single body.
The stator 314 together with the stator winding 315 forms a U-shaped sector or segmented sector resembling a clutching hand over the outer edge of the rotor 317, with the open side of the U-shape towards the ropes 302. The largest sector width possible in the structure depends on the relation of the inner diameter of the stator 314 and the diameter of the traction sheave 318. In practical solutions, an advantageous relationship of the magnitudes of these diameters is such that a sector diameter of 240~
is not exceeded. However, if the hoisting ropes 302 are brought closer to a vertical line passing through the axle 313 by providing the machine with diverting pulleys, the arrangement will easily allow the use of a sector of from about 240~ to 300~, depending on the position of the diverting pulleys below the motor 326. At the same time, the angle of contact of the ropes 302 on the traction sheave 318 is increased, improving the frictional grip of the traction sheave 318. Between the stator 314 and the rotor 317 are two air gaps which are substantially perpendicular to the axle 313 of the motor 326.
If necessary, the drive machine can also be provided with a rotor activation means 320 which is placed, for example, inside the traction sheave 318 between the side plates 311, 312 and the rotor 317.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention are not restricted to the examples described herein. For example, it is possible to vary the number of times the hoisting ropes 3 are passed between the upper portion of the elevator shaft and the counterweight 2 or elevator car 1.
In particular, it is possible to achieve some additional advantages by using multiple rope stretches. In general, applications should be so designed that the hoisting ropes 3 go to the elevator car 1 at most as many times as to the 212~
counterweight 2. It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the hoisting ropes 3 need not necessarily be passed under the elevator car 1.
In suspension arrangements wherein the path of the counterweight is shorter than that of the car, a somewhat shorter shaft length requirement is achieved by placing the machinery above the path of the counterweight than in suspension arrangements wherein the paths of the car and counterweight have equal lengths.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the larger machine size needed for elevators designed for heavy loads can be achieved by increasing the diameter of the electromotor, without substantially increasing the thickness of the drive machine 6.
It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the elevator car, the counterweight and the drive machine can be positioned in the cross-section of the elevator shaft in a different manner than those described herein. One such lay-out is one wherein the drive machine and the counterweight are behind the car as seen from the shaft door and the hoisting ropes are passed under the elevator car diagonally with respect to the bottom of the elevator car. Passing the hoisting ropes diagonally or otherwise obliquely with respect to the shape of the elevator car bottom is an advantageous solution which can be used in other types of suspension lay-outs as well to ensure that the elevator car is symmetrically suspended on the hoisting ropes with respect to the centre of mass of the elevator.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the control panel required for the supply of power to the motor and for control of the elevator can be placed other than in conjunction with the machine unit, for example, in a separate control panel.
Similarly, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the 212fi~
art that an elevator implemented according to the present invention can be equipped in a manner differing from the examples presented. For instance, instead of an automatic door, the elevator could be equipped with a turn door.
